Summer of madness or the undertow drag me up an alley
for the blossoming fire on a stranger's smile...

Bride of wire!  How disguise so easily cracked!
Saw your heart turn spade-- this orchid's turned to black...

Graze on your shoulder...
Like the clouds in the afterglow...
How quiet they gather
when the storm's about to blow...

Clouds on your shoulder... in the haze of the afterglow...
stranded together and the storm's about to blow...
